TWICE’s hit song “Fancy” has surpassed over 300 million streams on one of the biggest music streaming sites, Spotify, according to the platform’s latest update. “Fancy” (stylized in all caps) is a song by South Korean girl group Twice. It was released by JYP Entertainment on April 22, 2019, as the lead single from the group’s seventh extended play, Fancy You. “Fancy” was co-written by Black Eyed Pilseung, who has written many of Twice’s previous title tracks including the debut single “Like Ooh-Ahh”, “Cheer Up”, “TT” and “Likey”. The songwriting duo, which consists of Rado and Choi Kyu-sung, are credited alongside Jeon Goon. It was described as a “dramatic and dynamic song that features group in a totally new light”. While keeping the group’s previous quirky festive tone that has defined a majority of its hits, “Fancy” blends mellow mood pop electro beats with the members’ sophisticated, strong melodies. Singing about love, the bandmates boldly express their emotions with lines like “I won’t ever let you go” and “It doesn’t matter who liked who first”.
Twice is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. The group is composed of nine members: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. Twice was formed under the television program Sixteen (2015) and debuted on October 20, 2015, with the extended play (EP) The Story Begins. Twice is most notable for their consistent employment of “cute” concepts which was further supported by the group’s bubblegum pop sound, which was seen as a departure from the usual retro style of music that was seen in their predecessor labelmates and fellow girl groups Wonder Girls and Miss A. The group had come to develop a signature “color pop” sonic style described as a combination of rock, R&B, and hip hop coupled with notable hooks in their music.[212] Their “cheerful” musical base is employed alongside a colorful style in terms of the members’ fashion, and while they have gained notability for emphasizing their youthful image, Twice has since adopted a more mature style which was first seen with the release of “Fancy” and “Breakthrough” which saw the group perform more sensual choreography for the former while employing a brassier electro-pop sound in the latter.
